Great insights ! But Stop showing the host Paul's zoomed in face !! Either focus on the speaker or the entire setup and discussion. Avoid zoomed in facial focus. Yikes !!!! :( Really bad camera person !!

It's common knowledge that IB jobs are very long hours + stress. These jobs are good if you are a money/status whore and enjoy that sort of work.... else it looks like some serious torture....not to mention health issues...if you don't take care of your health regularly.
